Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I stand here today very proud to carry a petition signed by 707 people here in Yellowknife. I would like to present this petition, Mr. Speaker, dealing with the matter of children's treatment programs for Yellowknife. Mr. Speaker, the petition contains 707 signatures of Yellowknife residents and, Mr. Speaker, the petitioners request that the Government of the Northwest Territories continues Yellowknife-based residential programs for children. Mr. Speaker, this petition was originated by people with concerns about continuing care here in Yellowknife and in communities north, and that the decision to relocate the program to another community would not interrupt the service that the community has spent a long time building and wants to continue. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
